I think this is the best spot to to put this artist. His earlier work might have gotten him in the "lowbrow" thread, but after seeing his new work I think it fits best in Contemporary. These are a few pics from Ahren latest MFA Exhibition. The show looks amazing, I really dig the new direction that he is going in.

Josh thank you for posting these! I am very excited about this new direction and so great to hear that it is well received. Now that my MFA is wrapping up, I am really looking forward to having the time to participate in more shows. Thanks again!

Out of curiosity would anyone on here be interested in seeing any of these paintings as prints? An opportunity has just come up but I am wondering if I should hold off for awhile. Any thoughts?

Thank you shabadoo and creep! I do think that I will go ahead with the prints in a small limited run, I will keep you posted on that. The work is all available, the show was not in a commercial space so none of the prices had been posted. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks again!

Ahren, I loved seeing your work in person at Distinction Gallery. I was hoping to meet you, but I understand you were unable to make it to the show. One of my favorites was this one. Winter Girl, 2009 10x10, Oil on canvas

Thanks chameleon! Really wish I could have made it down, the group at Distinction is always a lot of fun. Yea, my wife can sew like the wind, I am always amazed at her ability to make functional things for herself. So when she made a bomber hat this winter I just had to do a painting about it.
